WBA super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has been ordered by the WBA to negotiate a world title defence against undefeated sensation Andre Ward.

The WBA boxing organisation have reportedly ordered their champion Carl Froch to negotiate a second fight against undefeated American sensation Andre Ward. A date has not yet been discussed for the reported fight, but this will be Froch and Ward's second contest with The American dominantly out-pointing The Cobra in their first fight back in 2011.WBA champion vacated his IBF title, and with James DeGale set to fight Andre Dirrell for that strap, it initially allowed Froch to negotiate his own fight to reportedly conclude his career but an elbow injury scuppered his plans of that in May. The 37-year old was looking deeply into a world title defence against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr but now it appears Andre Ward has suddenly appeared out of the dark to target a massive rematch with Froch after promotional issues prevented The American from fighting as regularly as he would like. After signing with Roc Nation Sports, the career of Andre Ward is finally looking to spark a huge fire and that may start with a mouth-watering rematch with title-holder Carl Froch.
